Hi all,

I just received my first HL today, and oh god, how amazing are they?! I don't even have to suck it in.

My measurements are 32-28-35 and I fall under both XS and S, I got these in the XS just because I want it skintight and I don't want it to be loose on the top. I had a quite a hard time zipping it up, but when it's up it's all fine. Can you please please be honest and tell me if this fits okay or is it too small for me?

And for those who has this dress, do you know if this would be easy to be altered? I would like for it to be a band shorter. THANKS ALL :)

I think that you're missing the point, random22. The point that I was trying to make earlier is that I don't believe that the merchandise on Outnet is less-than-perfect stock. I think that it's stuff that doesn't sell during regular season. If the dresses are still around after sale time, they go to places like Outnet. I think that if it they were less-than-perfect, you'd get people complaining from time to time and that's just not happening.

Please do not get angry... It is just a wee observation.

Hmm... I am about to get a little controversial. But, I know the one that I saw with this tagging at the boutique had not as nice stitching. Meaning when you turned it inside out, and compared it to the same style the stitching was not as nice. Having said that, it still fit great and you really couldn't tell unless you were ultra examining, but stitching was quite obvious like around the neckline, and near the zipper.

Definitely not too tight. It's a great fit:)
As far as alterations are concerned, is the dress faux-banded or individually-banded? You can tell by gently pulling apart one of the bands. If there is no seam (and just a fold), then the dress is faux-banded. If, however, there is an actual seam in between each band, then it is individually-banded. Dresses that are individually-banded are quite simple to alter, but I would not recommend altering a faux-banded dress unless you have an extremely experienced tailor. The faux-banded dresses would actually have to be cut and the material can fray.

vhdos, hmm i'm not very sure but it seems like it is individually-banded, i'll go to my usual tailor and see if she's confident to do it! thanks so much!

bebefuzz, lol i know i am very particular with little things like this that probably no one else would notice! i just wanted to make sure i got the right size because i can't wait to order more dresses!!! thanks again :)

I don't see anything controversial about that. Perhaps some dresses are made "better" then others. It's not uncommon for designers to do that. I just haven't noticed that to be the case with any of the HLs that I've purchased from Outnet.

Herve Leger has been pretty consistent. If you take the same style dress, turn it inside out, even when it's a different size, typically all of the stitching matches identically. It is actually truly amazing how similar it all is. It's GREAT for authentication purposes. :)

The only time I have seen the stitching not match is when it has this not so usual tagging. BUT, I have only seen one dress with this tagging in person (at the Herve Leger boutique)... so it could have been a fluke.
